Is your club planning a great community project this year? Consider applying for matching funds from D7930!  In the current funding round, the District has approved funding for six projects to support projects that address literacy and education both locally and internationally, and support local food pantries.  These projects provide great benefit to our communities, enhance the visibility of Rotary on a local level and provide the opportunity for clubs to demonstrate Rotary "ideals in action" for the benefit of attracting valuable new club members.
 
Projects are required to fall into at least one of the 7 Areas of Focus, must be a new project for your club, involve broad participation by members, and will be complete by May 15, 2022.  If you are considering a project that meets these criteria, you may want to consider this matching grant opportunity. The application can be found here.

If your club submitted an application that was approved for funding in the current round, subject to available funds, you may be eligible to submit a second project for consideration after January 1, 2022. 
 
District DMG Sub-Committee Chair Martha Holden of the Peabody Club is happy to answer any questions you might have, or guide you through the application process. Please contact Martha at marthahealeyholden@gmail.com for more information. Martha works with Doreen O’Hare of the Arlington Club to review and recommend projects for final approval by District Foundation Chair Joan Arsenault and District Governor Terry Curran.
